Caring for items, and making them shine

I love the journey of stripping a piece back, finding out how it was made, and then making it as good as new for years to come. Here’s a selection of projects I’ve worked on.

Mid-century side board (solid wood)

This piece came to me in a very sorry state, so I stripped it back, stained, varnished and painted it two tone.

Now it’s a smart cupboard mixing my signature art deco style lines and painted borders.

Mid century sideboard (veneer)

This mid century sideboard was in a dreadful state with very thin veneer. I decided to test something out - leaving blocks of wood visible and painting solid borders to hide the worst areas of damage. Using Little Greene paint and some hard wax oil I was really pleased with the result.

Mid-century side table

This little side table needed an update and clean up. it was my first experimental piece, and now it sits in my lounge.
